Every now and then, there comes along a game that’s just downright nasty.
And not the good kind of nasty, either, friends.
These are games that cross the line of no return, and contain content that just isn’t
acceptable.
The majority of games on this list, for the most part, are disturbing, offensive, and
just flat out tasteless.
And there’s other games on here that are just way more worth your time.
We primarily steered away from survival horror games with disturbing content - primarily
because, well, they’re meant to disturb you - and stuck with games that trigger more
than just bad nightmares.
With that in mind, let’s jump into our list of the top 10 video games you shouldn’t
play.
10 Playboy The Mansion Let’s start off this list with a nice serving
of disappointment!
A simulation game from 2005, Playboy the Mansion puts you in the shoes of Hugh Hefner, building
your empire from scratch and hooking up with lots of ladies in the process.
Which sounds appealing, except for the fact that it’s an awful game.
And the nudity isn’t even that worth it - there’s many other games that offer adult
content that actually have solid game mechanics and an interesting plot.
One critic said “I flipped on the game expecting a world of champagne, roses and frequent wisps
of steam.
Instead, I got an immediate request that I construct an office on the mansion’s upper
floor.”
9 Custer’s Revenge Definitely on the tamer end of the spectrum
of this list, Custer’s Revenge is an Atari 2600 game by Mystique that features General
Custer - a real life general who was ambushed and killed - taking his revenge for his death
by raping a Native American woman.
And, there’s 8-bit nudity, which made it highly controversial at the time for being
pornographic.
And, to add insult to injury, the game is just flat out poorly made, and is considered
one of the worst video games ever made.
8 Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 VR The most recent game on this list stirring
up controversy, this VR game, as some critics have opinionated, went from creepy to harassment.
There’s a mode that allows players to harass the women in the game, to the point where
your advancements elicit reactions of discomfort from them, and they shoo you away.
Yet they’re pretty much powerless in terms of actually getting you to stop gazing at
them.
And then you can also continually touch the women in the game, who then verbal protest
it.
Rather than just being a peeping tom like in previous games, the game took things to
the next level, which left many people feeling uncomfortable.
7 Super Columbine Massacre RPG Based off the Columbine Massacre, this game
created by Danny Ledonne received a lot of negative reviews, primarily for trivializing
the actions of the murderers and the lives of the victims.
Others saw it as an impactful commentary on the game, which went on to spawn the argument
of video games as art, with Ledonne being a bit of a poster boy for the cause.
Regardless, the game is still incredibly uncomfortable for many to play, especially those who have
witnessed or been victimized by gun violence.
6 I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream A point and click adventure, this game is
based off of a short story written by Harlan Ellison.
During the Cold War, huge underground complexes containing a super computer were built by
the USA, USSR and China.
These computers merged into a sentient AI named AM, who wiped out almost all of humanity,
except 5 humans who it tortured for over a century.
After 109 years of toture, AM decides to devise a quest for each, each containing ethical
dilemmas that deal with either insanity, rape, paranoia and genocide.
Disturbing and nightmarish, it received mixed reviews.
5 ET the Extra-Terrestrial Alright, let’s take a little detour away
from the disturbing and talk about a game that you shouldn’t play, because it’s
utter garbage.
So much so, that Atari treated it as such, by disposing of all existing copies they could
get their hands on and burying them in the desert.
Ah yes, the 1982 ET the Extra Terrestrial.
The game has been cited to be one of the causes of the video game industry crisis in 1983;
the amount of unsold copies of the game along with the horrible reception the game received
led to Atari losing millions and being sold and divided in 1984.
4 The Maiden Rape Assault: Violent Semen Inferno Unfortunately getting back to the topic of
rape, The Maiden Rape Assault is a game where the player character performs some sexually
explicit stuff, including forcing himself on a woman, a complete stranger, on her wedding
day.
And several other women.
Most reviews online about the game range from this game is idiotic, while others ironically
rave about it’s comedic impact, with some saying the only good thing about this game
is it’s name.
3 Battle Raper Made by Japanese developer Illusion, who has
a track record for releasing games of a certain tasteless degree, Battle Raper is pretty much
exactly how it sounds; a hand to hand combat fighting game in which you face off against
females who, in battle, lose their clothes and take damage via sexually explicit grapple
attacks.
So yes, you’re essentially raping or assaulting them into submission.
There’s also a feature that lets you freely molest the female characters.
One critic called it “humiliation, rape and degradation are wrapped up in one package
of shame, thats not only a shitty fighting game, but a sick idea as well.”
2 Rapelay Another game from Illusion here, we’ve mentioned
Rapelay in a few of our other videos, but for those of you not in the know, it’s a
game in which you play a man who is seeking revenge by raping a woman and her two daughters.
It’s pretty fucked up.
One of the daughters spots you assaulting a woman on the train, and after she calls
the police on you, you go after her and her family, stalking them, assaulting them and
raping them.
Amazon banned it from being sold, and that’s the tip of the iceberg in terms of negative
reviews and press it’s received since it’s release.
1 Ethnic Cleansing The title kind of says it all for this game.
You play a white nationalist in this first person shooter - either a neo-Nazi, a skinhead
or a klansman - and you run through a ghetto and shoot African Americans, Latinos and lastly
Jews.
As you can imagine, many of the portrayals in the game are incredibly offensive, using
art assets and sound effects that are racial stereotypes.
According to National Alliance chairman William Pierce, the developer of the game, a couple
of thousand of copies were sold within a month of it’s release, and 90 percent of the consumers
were white teenage boys.
Ouch.
Alright.
There we have it friends.
